Testimonials

We used Chest Straps for 5 days on a film which consisted entirely of 3 men running down a train tunnel. The straps held superbly well, and never slipped. The sweat and high movement would have ruined any chances of using tape. The low profile of the strap meant that you could never see them through t-shirts. The cable keepers are amazing and kept the cable neatly drawn down the back or side of the artist rather than being messy or loose. 100% recommend.

I’m a huge fan of URSA Straps products, and this exceptionally hot summer has made me an even bigger fan. The Chest Strap has been particularly useful. Talent and contributors love Ursa, and I’ve gotten compliments for making being wired a comfortable experience.

Ilari Sivil Sound Recordist

For me the best URSA Strap is the Chest Strap! Forget about the tape and the mic noise!

Tomas Kruse Sound Mixer

We put 6 Chest Straps on talent running a tough mudder. All came back with the straps still attached! So pretty impressed with what these straps can go through.

George Precious Sound Mixer

I’ve long been a fan of Chest Straps for those times when there’s nothing else to stick a lav to. Thin, smooth, gripper-backed to prevent it slipping round or down, loops to route the cable, and different sizes of pockets for different sizes of lav. Wish I’d discovered them sooner.

Doug Templeton Sound Recordist

This chest strap has been really useful when I've needed to fit a mic on very sweaty contributors and adhesives weren't suitable. It is stretchy so it can fit on a range of body dimensions and the grippy material helps keep the mic in the optimum position.

Andrew Ford 2nd Assistant Sound

A minimal strap with different sized holes depending on the size mic you have. I was using a DPA 6060 which is a very slim lav mic and I wasn't sure it it would work. It fit's perfectly. The loops work perfectly for cable management and can do without tape being adding for strain relief. The strap also has grippy texture along the strap to prevent slipping.Used this as a solution for a football scene with some kids playing in a playground. Sounded great with no rustle or noise

George Thompson Boom Operator

Really useful strap for when talent has loads of chest hair or if they aren't happy to have mic stuck to their chest for whatever reason. Has gotten me out of difficult situations when I really needed it when working as an assisstant so decided to buy one for my mixing kit.

Benjamin 2nd Assistant Sound / Sound Mixer

Always had issues mic-ing on to hairy chest where you can't easily stick to the clothes for whatever reason. I added a foamie to hold the mic in this and the results were good.

The URSA Chest Straps are an excellent addition to anyone's Sound Kit. If a performer doesn't like tape going directly to skin or has a hairy chest, a chest strap is a great workaround. You'll be able to have the mic right where you want it and keep everyone happy. They even have loops just off-centre so you guide the cable and mitigate any cable noise caused by tension.

FAQs

Tape can slip on sweaty or hairy skin, and repeated application can irritate skin or pull hair. The URSA Chest Strap uses a gripper-backed fabric that stays in place without tape and reduces unwanted mic movement noise.

It’s designed with multiple pouch sections to fit a variety of lavalier sizes and mounts — from slimmer mics (like COS11) to larger capsules and concealers.

The strap is ultra-thin and low-profile, designed to become nearly invisible under tight shirts or costumes.

Built-in cable loops help secure the cable along the chest strap, stopping it from shifting or pulling during movement.

Yes — URSA straps are machine washable (recommended at 40–60 °C) and can be dried on low heat or hang‑dried.
